Once Skinny, Now Round

I have to laugh looking at these “before” pictures because this is the first time I have seen them like this. To me they are just older male actors, who continuously take minor father roles or bizarre older gentleman roles in lakorns to which you want to fast-forward through. It’s bizarre seeing them this skinny, young, and handsome. If I was a teeny bopper back in the late 80′s, I would totally go bananas over them.

The picture above is of veteran actor, Tin Settachok, back in his early 20s. Handsome right? Tall and sophisticated. At present, Tin takes up father roles in lakorns for Ch7. His lakorn “Jaew Jai Rai Gub Khun Chai Taewada” with Pae Arak and Aum Patcharapra is currently on air. Tin plays Pae Arak’s neglectful father.

Thon Chakrit was pra’ek once, back when he was skinny and young. Now he plays a wide range of older male characters. He played a gay man in “Pleuk Seneaha“, an Exact lakorn for Ch5 with Kathaleeya McIntosh and Pong Nawat. I believed he tried to sexually harassed Puri Hiranpruk’s character in the lakorn. It was kinda creepy.

His most recent work I can recall was in “Sai Seup Delivery (Spy Delivery)” on Ch3, he was the police Captain who had a minor crush on Yardthip’s mother.

Singer, actor, and “3Num3Mum Tonight” variety show host Kob Songsit was one handsome young lad back in the early 80s. Now in his early 40s, he is taking up father roles in movies, lakorns, and stage play. Currently, he is Kwan’s father in “Meu Nang (Her Hand)” on Ch7.

Previously, he was Ploy Cherman and Mario Maurer’s alcoholic father in “Love of Siam”. In the stage play “Neua Koo 11 chaak jak wan ruk…teung wan laa ( a couple’s 11 scene from the day they fell in love…to the day they broke up)”, he was Aerin Siripon’s father and Nok Sinjai’s husband.

Chatchai Plengpanich, what can you say about this man? Creepy now, kinda cute back then. Career wise, he is the most active out of the four. At the age of 49, he is still getting pra’ek roles and major supporting cast roles in lakorns while others in his age group are primarily taking up father roles. Currently, he is Taew Nataporn’s evil father in the lakorn “Dong Poo Dee” on Ch3.
